Duuuuuude awsome thread.


DKC- Aquatic Ambience
TLOZ- Zeldas Lullaby
TMNT4- Neon Night Riders

I just have to pick these three as there would otherwise be too many. I do love me some chrono trigger music though!

[Koschei]

hhhhmmmm.
I would have to say I like the oldies

Legend of Zelda-Dungeon Theme and Opening
Castlevania- Opening theme(pretty much all of the music through out the game)


Will also throw in FF10-Fight Song

[Ninjinister]

A lot of the 8-bit and 16-bit themes get stuck in my head all the time, as well as some fighting game themes. Probably the ones most often repeating are the music from the Streets of Rage series (mostly 2, but sometimes others), the classic Tetris GB theme (the one based on the Russian folk song, the name of which escapes me), and yes, a lot of Crush40 songs. Contrary to Turo, Sonic Heroes is actually the only one I don't like >.<

Dude same here, and I did also forget to mention Streets of Rage 2 music. The old games always have the best music, those are the classics, like the opening of the first Zelda.

Dire Dire, Docks from Super Mario 64 comes to mind.

I love threads like this. There is so much content to enjoy out there that you get exposed to new ones every time. I hear a lot that there is no appreciation for classical instrumental music anymore, but video games and its fans are a testament to that this couldn't be more wrong. Let's see if I can do this without tapping into Final Fantasy's massive library.

Wild Arms is a massively underrated game when it comes to soundtracks. Its sound is very distinct and really beautiful. Especially the calm tunes give you a grand sense of adventure and exploration that few other games are able to match.

Music from Super Metroid and Metroid Prime is awesome. I also have the music in actual piano-human played versions, not just the music from the game while you play. I must say that the piano played versions are truly spectacular to listen to. I wish I could upload them here so you could hear them.

[Samhain]

^

Yeah Metroid is awesome. Used to scare me though.

[Cure]

The soundtrack to Sonic Rush is pretty mind blowing, this track especially.

Can't disagree with you on that one.

Silent Hill 2 had the BEST game soundtrack of all time, hands down. Not an opinion, but a FACT8)

[Vivi]

Maniac Mansion
Windwaker/Zelda in general
and ever since I saw the redubbed parody of TMNT (4) -- Zool.
Silent Hill - most def creepy as hell.

[Zachatello00]

Among the scores and scores of scores (phew) one that stands out in my mind is the music that plays while Donkey Kong fights King K Rool in DK Country.

Man, always loved FBZ. When I was knee-high, I used to imagine my own lyrics to that tune. Thankfully I've forgotten them.

I always loved a good SNES sountrack.

[The Stryker]

Silent Hill 2 had the BEST game soundtrack of all time, hands down. Not an opinion, but a FACT8)

Silent Hill has music?

[Zachatello00]

Let's not forget the ending/credit music for Super Mario World. I had lyrics for that one too...

[Turo602]

The ending/credits to Metroid Zero Mission that was really good music after a long good adventure.

[Cure]

Silent Hill has music?

Yeah. Who can forget such classics as this?

[Candy Kappa]

metal gear series have some of my favorite themes

[Kendamu]

I don't have any particular overall favorites, but I tend to lean toward Megaman-esque and Street Fighter-esque Capcom music. Maybe some good examples would be a lot fo the music from the first Megaman X, Ryu's theme, Ken's theme, Guile's theme,the original Double Dragon theme, or the song from when Travis moves up in rank (with the 8-bit graphics) from No More Heroes 2. Stuff that has that kind of sound to it sounds really cool to me.

YESSSSSSSS WEB WOODS!

Thats my sh!t.

[Barkworm]

Damn, I want to play Diddy's Kong Quest now.

[Vivi]

^^
I love the music when they're wandering around on the map, it's kind of eerie nice.

[poiuytre]

I love
Super Dimentio's theme from Super Paper Mario
Excellent choice, tho I prefer the Super Dimentio battle music (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=42Q4ReAOXTc). Super Paper Mario had some great music.

Some more:
Tales of Symphonia - Fatalize (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sm6Wy04Yaj0&feature=related) <3
Little King's Story - Soup, Sin, And Salvation (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9WpKSWOIEWQ) (The entire soundtrack is full of lovely arrangements of some of the best music ever made)
Xenosage III - Limestone cave (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rTmNyeq1fJg) (Reminds me a lot of an orchestrated version of Tina's theme from Final Fantasy 3)
Shadow Hearts II - Battle vs Astaroth (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AGWVzDhDHMc)
Portrait of Ruin - Hail from the Past (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fg1PDaOnU2Q)

[Original TMNT Cartoon Fan]

I like the Sim City music (SNES) when the town is still small.
